==Male masturbation==
Masturbation to orgasm before bed is very relaxing and contributes to sleeping. Moreover, it prevents overfilled [[seminal vesicles ]] and [[nocturnal emission| nocturnal emissions]] (wet dreams}. Regular masturbation is associated with a reduction in the incidence of [[prostate cancer]].<ref>{{REFweb

Masturbation may be helpful in reducing a persistent [[erection]].
There is no minimum age for masturbation. Young adolescents may experience dry orgasms until secretion of [[semen ]] commences.
===Intact penis===

}}</ref> [[Intact]] males simply use their hand to glide the [[foreskin]] back and forth. It is ''not'' necessary to retract the [[foreskin]] while masturbating. If the foreskin is of adequate length, then the [[intact]] male will usually keep it forward for additional stimulation. Keeping the head covered by the [[foreskin ]] also protects the sensitive [[mucosa]] covering the [[glans penis| head]]. The motion of the foreskin stimulates the nerves ([[Meissner's corpuscles]]) in the foreskin. Use of lubrication is optional for [[intact]] males.
Prolonged and/or vigorous masturbation occasionally causes [[lymphoedema]] of the foreskin, which causes swelling of the [[foreskin]]. The condition is painless and harmless. It usually resolves within about 24 hours.
===Restored penis===
Many men who practice [[foreskin restoration]] report an improvement in their masturbation experience with their restored penis as compared with their previous [[circumcised]] penis. Notably, they typically report an improvement in [[gliding action]], in [[Foreskin sensitivity| sensation]], and a reduction or elimination of the need for lubrication.
[[Circumcision]] (foreskin amputation) was promoted in the nineteenth century to stop masturbation.<ref name="bigelow1995">{{REFbook
